Abstract
In addition to mass conservation and energy balance relations, conditions at the migrating interface (“contact conditions”) are required to predict the values of the variables at a sharp interface. In this paper frequently used contact conditions are discussed with respect to their inherent presuppositions, and a thick interface with zero internal fluxes is investigated. The contact conditions are automatically related to an off-equilibrium situation in the case of a finite interface mobility and can be derived from the principle of maximum Gibbs energy dissipation. The transformation kinetics for a deviation from local equilibrium has recently been studied by utilizing schematic Gibbs energy diagrams. The numerical results obtained in the present work confirm the predictive character of these schematic diagrams.
